Bummer for the TV DD but at least you'll be connected in time for Strictly when it starts in earnest and most of the Bake Off and the hour long GWs.
Bummer for the car too FG but at least now you're safe for winter when it comes.
Sunny here. Started off the day loading up the car with lots of spare hostas and hemerocallis and lychnis chalcedonica and assorted hemerocalliis and some physostegia for my last garden group meeting. All have found new homes which is good and i was given a wooden post with a brass plaque and a very generous fund to buy plants to remember happy times with my garden group.
Lovely gesture and lovely people. I have some hamamellis on order already and plan to buy a cornus controversa and a liquidambar this autumn to make a lovely, colourful woodland corner with a bench toso we can sit and enjoy the winter perfume.
Now to gather the rest of my treasures for automatic watering while we're in Malvern cos it's promising to be very hot again and dry. OH is out there sweeping mole hills so he can cut the grass. The perishers are very active!
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
It has not ceased that constant warm heavy drizzle here since yesterday. I went out and strimmed anyway (I'm getting desperate now) and had to change from the skin out! I'm a right looking sight!
Still smirring here too Fairy. Another for your car bill! pp at least the rain is warmer than normal. Joyce I can't believe you've been dry all day.
DD at least the laptop will keep you up to date with stuff until you get the to sorted once and for all.
Obelixx that was a lovely, thoughtful gesture from your group and your plant choices sound lovely. You can always carry on seed swaps, etc with them. Hope you find a good dance group in your new place too.
What a lovely gift obelixx. Nice when people appreciate all your efforts. Lovely choices you're planning
As you say - car is now ready for winter. I'd only have had to take it back in a month to get them done. I can't do without a car - for work if nothing else as there's no public transport there....and how on earth would I get to my hills!
Having seen the state of some taxi drivers Lesley - manure in their boot is the least of their problems....
I'm moving down near the coast with Joyce, Ppauper...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Never said hello this morning. New friend came round to take us on her walk. Was an exercise sort of walk, not a stroll, but we talked a lot. Then OH and I went to Peter Beales Classic Roses for brekkies, great bacon baps. The garden is still full of roses and colour.
Been rather warm and muggy today. Going out for dinner in a local pub which has just re-opened after 2 years. Rather pretty with a new thatched roof.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Dry here Fairy but looks as though a downpour is coming. At least you've got some painting done,
obelixx - I envy you having a cornus controversa.
Lovely of the gardening group to fund some new planting.
Dry Joyce? DRY???? Have you moved house?

PP The rain has hit Fairy about an hour or so away but it's so muggy here that I won't be surprised if we get rain and thunder later.
